Nowadays, skin cancer becomes a very dangerous disease for human. Skin cancer is classified into many types such as Melanoma, Basal and squamous cell carcinoma. In all cancers, melanoma is the most dangerous and unpredictable disease. The detection of melanoma cancer in an early stage is beneficial for effective treatment. The detection of skin cancer contains four significant stages which are Pre-processing, Segmentation, Feature Extraction and Classification. The proposed study involves the collection of image database, preprocessing methods, segmentation using thresholding and classification using statistical features. The K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier is used for classification. The accuracy of KNN classifier for proposed research work is 93.4%.
